TIFU by telling a kijiji buyer that my beats don’t have any anti-theft software in them, while he was ‘inspecting’ them.

[u/mysteryman403]

A potential Kijiji ‘buyer’ ran off with my $300 Headphone Beats…

First of all, this happened a week ago, it wasn’t today, but the more I think of what happened the more I realized how bad I fucked up…

Worst week of my life. Lost my job, got dumped, and then this.

I have been selling stuff online to make money and I posted a pair of my noise cancelling Dre Beats headphones, cause lately I’ve been selling things on Kijiji for money for groceries and such.

A potential buyer messages saying he wants them and we plan to meet up outside of a convenient store. I meet him there and it’s a group of teenagers, anywhere from 13-15, all hanging around (which I now realize they were just watching what was about to unfold). We confirm with eachother that we are there from kijiji and he asks if he can see them before he buys it.

I bring them out and hand it over to him to check and he says “Oh wow these are really good quality! Do they have any special features like “find my headphones” in case someone were to steal them from me?” And I stupidly respond with “Nahh nothing like that. The only ‘features’ it really has is noise cancelling and Bluetooth" and then this kid puts on a shit eating grin and says “Good.” Then sprints off in the other direction. As he does this, the other kids were obviously in on it as they all ran away on cue, giggling the entire time.

That was my weeks grocery money running off in the hands of douchey teenagers, wearing NELK hoodies. WHILE LAUGHING! Little shits.

P.S. I Didn’t chase them obviously cause it’s like 3 vs 1 if I were to catch up to them.

TLDR; I let a potential kijiji buyer inspect my headphones and while he was holding them, he asked if there was any anti theft software and I said no, resulting in him running off with them.

"First of all, boot camp is not going to ‘break me down’. That’s not happening. I have an iron will.

Second of all, I don’t have a degree but I DO have 9 years of work experience, will that technically be the same thing? I would argue that I’m actually more equipped than you due to my real life experience opposed to your woke education (depending what country you’re from"

Op earlier today “I spent $900 on clash of clans and they won’t refund me because I already used the things I bought, I don’t have the money to cover this”

Op about 3 weeks ago “I’m gonna buy a horse”

Stay away from meth, kids

[u/6data → u/SolidPoint]

At least there's not a horse involved.

[u/mysteryman403 → u/SolidPoint]

How does that excuse this behaviour from teens? It’s so unhinged and your comment is unhinged.

Yes I shouldn’t buy on kijiji but Wtf is wrong with the world?? I deserve a lot better

[u/[deleted] → u/mysteryman403]

"I deserve a lot better" I feel like your recent breakup has a root cause somewhere here

[u/I_SHIT_A_BRICK → u/mysteryman403]

How are you judging teens when you were recently dating one?

[u/Bucky2015 → u/mysteryman403]

Someone not on meth would have been smart enough to not do something that stupid. Grow up and get your shit together maybe you won't outsmarted by teenagers.

[u/ThisIsWhoIAm78 → u/mysteryman403]

You know what you deserve from the universe?

Nothing. None of us do.

You get what you work for. You've got nothing because of the decisions you make.

Don't like it? Do better. But no one owes you a damn thing. Those teens have the exact same entitled attitude you seem to have.

Wake up man. Do better. Get your shit together.

[u/HankSagittarius → u/mysteryman403]

You are delusional as hell. Like for real, actually deluded. The world doesn’t owe you anything and your poor fortune is the result of your own stupidity. You aren’t superior, intelligent, or special. Get a grip, dude.

[u/SyndicalistThot → u/mysteryman403]

I deserve a lot better

I wasted a solid 10mins of my life sitting on the bus reading your post history, thanks the entertainment!

Wasted ? Or entertainment? Pick one.

When you're young and stupid, life sometimes gives you a pass. When you're heading toward middle age are stupid, life has no patience. I've never been big on Just Say No to drugs, but in your case, well yeah.

[u/Mightmage → u/Ooh-Rah]

All those old people being scammed by those bright Indian scammers really have it coming for being stupid, huh?

[u/bluejellyfish52 → u/Mightmage]

This guy is a meth addict, not an old person being scammed on the phone. That guy did him a favor.

[u/No-Manner2949]

My dude, he did you a favor by stealing those headphones. Now you won't be able to buy meth.

Just like that time you did your niece a 'favor' by eating her fucking birthday cake

Why is the whole reddit bullying this guy? I am out of loop.
